Back with more B/W's; Need Critique

[khnordeen]

Hello POTN,

I posted some B/W's a little while back and got a lot of positive feedback and comments, so I figured I would post a couple more I took today on my morning walk. I didnt add any vignetting like I did last time as it seemed to be a major "turn-off" from most of the people who commented on my last bunch. All comments and criticism are welcome. Thanks :D

I like #'s 1, 3, and 4 very much.
#'s 2 and 5 are fine pictures, technically, but they just don't do anything for me insofar as a message or personal interest.

In #1 it's the dramatic sky and the perspective that give you a rush.
In #3 it's the feel-good mood that comes with it.
In #4 it's the threatening mood from the tree ready to grab you as you go by.

Congratulations!

^Thanks for the kind words. :D

Anybody else?

Very nice. I like the whispiness of the clouds (sp?) B/W is also a very nice choise to add to the drama that these images bring. I'd frame em :)

I like all of them, with #1 being least favorite and #4 most favorite by far. I feel like with #4, I'm in a bad dream, tense, afraid, anxious... with those ominous clouds and the skewed perspective. I found my eyes wondering all over that photo and not being able to focus on any one part of it. I like it a lot because of the emotions it stirs.

I like the 1st and 4th one.
